SUB – TOPIC 1: MEANING OF INTER-PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS.
Interpersonal relationship simply means relationship that exists between two parties. It is a
relatively long-term association that may be based on emotions like love and liking, regular
business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. It could also be said to be a
mutual or cordial relationship that exist between people despite race, age, colour, tribe, political,
social or religious affiliation.
Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friendship,
marriage, acquaintances, work, clubs, neighbourhoods, and places of worship. This interpersonal
relationship may be regulated by law, custom or mutual agreement or society as a whole.
Although human beings are fundamentally social beings, interpersonal relationships may not
always be cordial or healthy. Unhealthy interpersonal relationships are those laden with frictions,
quarrel and misunderstanding as well as those based on crime and other anti-social behaviours.
Good healthy true and sincere interpersonal relationships help to promote cordial relationship,
peaceful and mutual co-existence, and tolerance for one another, harmony, concord and
understanding in the society, all round well being and the development of the society.

unpalatable a times. It can about joy as well as sadness.

and hot anger rises when there is conflict that can result into violence. Conflict can be
triggered off as a result of Domination, Deprivation, Envy, Ethnicity, Rivalry, Bribery
and Corruption, Neglect, Religious bigotry, Marginalization, Cheating and lack of trust.
iv. Coercion: This involves the use of force to make someone or group of people do certain
thing against their will. This action is very common among the law enforcement agencies
and armed bandits. This is a crude and primitive style of relationship that should be
discarded.
v. Exchange: This entails given somebody something in return for good deeds done or
services rendered. It may also be doing something to reciprocate what was done to one
